28. Accommodation & Gastronomy
Five-one-five warehouse, wooden box No. 1477. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info East followed Brownie's lockpicking code and successfully found the metal box he was talking about. The box was simply made of a magical metal. East did not know the category of this metal, probably a special alloy. The thing called the Source Energy Crystal that existed in the box was not perceptible outside the box at all.
After waking up Bronny and apologizing, Est learns that this is the warehouse area of the Port of Colombo, and that a large number of people have come to help tonight because the wife of the port's tax director is hosting a birthday party, and many people have left their jobs to attend the banquet. As a result, there were very few people left behind in the warehouse area tonight, and they were powerless to resist when raided by the cultists. There were far more cultists than he had seen. A large number of cultists left the warehouse area first with the bodies of the people they had killed.
Removing the corpses? This gave Esther a very bad feeling after thinking of the scene where Jimmy the Short instantly planted a portal on a pile of corpses.
Esther carried Brownie on his back and followed his command as he made his way out of the sprawling dock warehouse area. They came out of the main gate of the warehouse district, and there was no one at the gate, which was supposed to be twelve men on duty. East could only hope that they were all off duty to attend the banquet.
Both Esther and Sonia wrapped their bodies in black capes, while their heads and faces were covered with cut cloth to cover their dazzling blonde hair. None of them want to be impressed when they are seen late at night.
The night was already deep. Even Colombo, which is known as the city that never sleeps, has only a few prosperous areas that are still singing and dancing. Most of us have already fallen asleep, stocking up energy for tomorrow's day's work. Along the way, Esther and Sonia had encountered at least five patrolling City Guard soldiers, but the sound of their armor colliding would be heard by Esther from a kilometer away. Each time Easter turned ahead to avoid them. The blind-eyed Brownie had no idea.
In the case of making sure that no one is being targeted or noticed. Esther and Sonia made their way in the direction of the White Tower. Although there have been many wrongful roads and dead ends, the distance from the White Tower has been constantly shortening.
Finally, the White Tower is in sight. In front of the White Pagoda is a small square, where more than a dozen soldiers on night patrol walk in a neat queue.
Esther was reluctant to expose the two to the eyes of the Night Guard. He placed the brownie in front of a tavern-like house closest to the White Tower, along with the box he cared about the most, and woke up the owner of the house by smashing the glass with a stone.
"It's up to you, Uncle Brownie, good luck. ā
Esther and Sonia sped around the corner and disappeared into the night, leaving Brownie, who had no idea what was happening, to meet the wrath of the houseowner. In the distance, Esther could still hear a curse, followed by an exclamation, and the people in the house seemed to recognize Brownie.
"If you don't die in a great calamity, you will be blessed. Listening to the movement in the distance, East silently wished the tough guy a speedy recovery.
Now it's Easter and Sonya's turn to ask. They still don't know the way back to the Seawolf Inn. After a blank attempt to find a familiar building, Esther spotted a familiar sight - the ever-changing source of magic light in Palazzo Valentino.
Having finally found a place to meet, and there was someone she knew to turn to, Fanny could turn to, and Esther and Sonia decided to go to Palazzo Valentino right away. Whether you stay there for the night or ask for the way back to the Seawolf Hotel, it is a very good choice.
In addition to the magic light source that was still working, the entire Valentino Palace had also fallen into silence. The main entrance of the palace was closed tightly, and the gatekeeper who had been disrespectful did not know where to go. The two of them went around the back door of the palace where they had been once, and found that it was also locked. The two looked at each other helplessly, and Esther pointed to the three-meter-high wall and made a gesture to climb over it. Sonia shook her head, walked over to the door and called for it.
"Who's this? I didn't sleep in the middle of the night to make trouble. Soon, a voice of grievance rang out.
Sonia looked at Easter scum and said, "Look, my method works." ā
There was a "squeak" and a small window opened on the door. An unfriendly-sounding voice slurred and asked, "Are you very dyed?"
"Hello, sorry to interrupt. We're friends of Fanny, and we're here tonight to see her. Sonya's crisp girlish voice seemed to have relieved the janitor of his anger, and he looked up and down the two girls outside the door for a while by the light source at the gate.
"It's Fanny's friend again! she's so many friends. ā
Despite his impatience, the gatekeeper at the back door opened the door for Esther and Sonya. It can be seen that Fanny has a high position among the servants of the Duke of Pervas in the Valentino Palace. It's also possible that the two girls made the janitor feel no threat.
Anyway, following the janitor into the gate and walking all the way to Fanny's quarters, to the relief of Esther and Sonya. On the first night in the royal capital, the two didn't want to sleep on the streets.
Unexpectedly, after Fanny opened the door, it was little Amy who ran out first. The girl hugged Easter, as if afraid that he would disappear again.
"Why are you here?" said Esther, putting his arms around the little girl, and then before being hugged by her mother.
It turned out that after the two 'sisters' ran away without a trace, Jessica took little Amy to look for a long time nearby. At this time, it was already very late, and the night in the royal capital was never a friend of the weak woman, and for the sake of safety, Jessica took Amy back to the nearby Valentino Palace and spent the night at Fanny's place.
Fanny's place to stay is really good. It was a separate suite. There is a separate washroom inside. Noticing this, Esther and Sonia are satisfied. Because until now, the blood of the short Jimmy, which was stuck to their hair, had dried out.
The two of them hurried into the bathroom, helped each other clean their hair, and then took a thorough hot bath in Fanny's large bathtub. Although he was still a little uncomfortable, the growing contact with Sonia told Esther the fact that he was now a girl.
There was no bed in Fanny's bedroom, but almost half of the bedroom was covered with thick turquoise straw mats. These straw mats are soft when you walk up, and you can smell the fresh aroma of flowers and plants when you lie on them.
Of course, Fanny doesn't have enough bedding here, but fortunately, the climate in Coronia is really warm and humid, so it doesn't matter if you don't have bedding. The only pillow was given to little Amy, and the others used the cloth bag filled with vanilla provided by Fanny as a pillow. These herbs are expensive, so they are all kept by the head chef of Palazzo Valentino, Fanny.
The most frustrating thing for Esther was that Fanny didn't have the pajamas he and Sonia were used to. According to her, to the masters, the clothes of the female slaves were some obstructive ornaments, and of course the less the better. Even Fanny is here, and she doesn't have a lot of clothes at all. After washing and drying the clothes they wore during the day, everyone had to go to sleep as they had come to this world.
Of course, Amy, who is young and not yet developed, is nothing, and Sonia is enough to look at herself almost every day. But the mature and plump bodies of Fanny and Jessica, a pair of great beauties, made East's heart fluctuate and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Easter was woken up by the sound of a gurgling stomach. He sniffled, and a strong aroma entered his nostrils, followed by the happy laughter of little Amy and Sonia in his ears.
Esther rolled over and sat up, and saw Sonia and little Amy sitting on a straw mat with two large dinner plates in front of them. The plate was filled with all sorts of delicate little snacks, and the two girls were smiling and smiling at them. He only felt that his stomach was about to rebel, so he hurriedly rubbed over and stretched out his hand to a piece of snack.
"Smack. Sonya's own cheeks bulged, and she slapped the back of Easter's outstretched hand, and said indistinctly, "Gan go and raise his face." ā
Although he could guess what Sonia was talking about, seeing these delicious snacks disappear into Sonya's small mouth quickly, Esther felt that he might only be left with a plate after washing his face.
Little Amy, who was already full, took out a small bag from her side and said lightly: "Miss Sophia, this is a snack for you." ā
It seems that helping their mother and daughter make a fortune last night still made the little girl keep herself firmly in her heart, and even kept snacks for herself.
Esther grinned and touched Amy's little head, making the little girl blush slightly, and then hummed a little song to wash.
All kinds of sweets. Salty, sweet, puff pastry, creamy, fruit-filled, meat-filled, soft and palatable, golden and crispy. Esther looked at the dazzling array of colorful pastries and salivated for a long time. Now when I eat it, I feel that there is no one that is not high-quality and full of ingredients, and I can't help but praise Fanny's cooking skills.
During a casual conversation with Amy, Esther learns that Fontie has even attended several state dinners for the Harvest Festival held by the royal family of Coron. She herself will cook sixty-nine of the 100 dishes of the state banquet. What makes Amy the most enviable is that Fanny can make many kinds of small snacks. This made some greedy little girls unforgettable, and whenever they had time, they came here to learn how to make small snacks from Fanny.
After eating the dim sum, Fanny thoughtfully brought her own specialty dish barbecue steak to the two girls who looked like big stomachs. These cutlets are made from the plump tenderloin steaks of the earth lizard, simmered for three hours in a pan filled with spices and then fried in hot oil. The most important thing is the temperature of the oil and the frying time. That's where Fanny does it perfectly. With fresh raisin toast, Esther and Sonia each ate eight one-kilogram roast steaks in a row. Finish off with a large plate of assorted fruit smoothies, a favorite of the Coronian people to beat the heat.
Esther comfortably swallowed the last spoonful of the pulp, some of which he couldn't name. Originally, he planned to pay Fanny some meals, but later found out that these ingredients had been recorded in Sonya's name, and as a super popular player in the finals, she was eligible to eat for free every day at Palazzo Valentino. The news even gave Esther the idea of coming to the game as well, until Fanny persuaded him that there was no one to divide the two sisters anyway, and that they could come and eat at any time.
Every day, Palazzo Valentino consumes tons of food alone. As the head chef, Fanny starts preparing from noon. After eating this big meal, which I don't know whether it is lunch or breakfast, Esther and his party say goodbye to the busy Fanny, and finally set foot on the road back to the Seawolf Inn.
